Commentary

While it has been shown and stated that Justin and Melissa were friends, not much of that friendship has been shown, nor has any basis for their friendship other than "they were friends". I mean, previously, I showed Justin and Melissa as kids who were apparently playing with a ball in panel four of that comic I linked. Yeah, real inform--wait.

Is...is that a ball of yarn? Those lines are totally how I draw balls of yarn. That had to have been intentional, but why did I...? They're not cats, for goodness sake. I really wish I'd been doing commentaries, back then, because I'm going to be scratching my head on that one...

ANYWAY! As keen eyes may have already noticed, the last panel of this comic is based on the 11th panel of that older comic.

Board Games! WHEE!

They're clearly playing Monopoly, and while the level of detail makes it impossible to tell, I'd like to believe it's a Star Wars variation.

As true as the above assertion is, however, that's NOT why there's a Chewbacca-like stuffed animal there. No, that fuzzball wound up getting included because the panel looked empty to me, and it seemed like an appropriate thing to include. Looking up references got me wondering about Chebacca's belt, however, and I'll be posting some of my tweets on the subject at the bottom of this commentary.

Trick or Treat!

WOW. Either those are small bags, or Justin and Melissa tricked and treated the HELL out of the neighborhood that Halloween.
